Actor Matthew Camp: ‘Until people are not ashamed of their bodies, the penis will always be taboo’

We were shocked this week when Instagram decided to remove Simon Dunn’s cheeky nude homage to Kim Kardashian while leaving the Kardashian’s equally explicit picture online. It got us thinking, why is the nude male body the cause of so much fear and debate. We spoke to actor Matthew Camp, who is no stranger to posting nude pictures himself, about why he likes to strip off and why he thinks people are so scared of the penis!

That’s a huge question… the short and the long .. I think some people have the need to feel important, so they judge others using artifacts that they themselves have picked up along their journey though cultural indoctrination.

Do you like to pose nude to cause a reaction?

Well I like being naked anyway but I have to admit that being nude does always give me a tickle.
